Strongly agree

No, reform so the tax rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased

Reforming the inheritance tax so that its rate is based on the wealth of the recipient rather than the deceased aligns with the INC's progressive principles. This approach would directly target wealth inequality by imposing a higher tax burden on wealthier recipients, which is in line with the party's historical stance on economic equity and redistribution.

Agree

No

Given its historical inclination towards progressive taxation and wealth redistribution, the INC would likely support the continuation of the inheritance tax as a tool to prevent the perpetuation of wealth inequality. However, the party might also be open to reforms to make the tax system more equitable.

Agree

No, but increase the tax-free allowance

The INC might view increasing the tax-free allowance as a compromise solution that makes the inheritance tax more palatable to the middle class while still preserving its role in wealth redistribution. This approach could be seen as a balanced way to address concerns about the tax's impact on less wealthy families.

Disagree

Yes, it is double taxation

The argument that inheritance tax constitutes double taxation may not resonate strongly with the INC, given its broader commitment to progressive taxation. The party is likely to prioritize the role of taxes in achieving social equity over the argument against double taxation, especially in the context of wealth transfer.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Indian National Congress (INC) has historically leaned towards socialist and progressive economic policies, favoring redistribution of wealth to address inequality. Abolishing the inheritance tax would be contrary to these principles, as it could lead to further accumulation of wealth among the already wealthy, exacerbating economic disparities.
